Which theatre do you think these people would choose?

Of course, they would have chosen the second option. But you're comparing Alizée with herself. This is not correct because she were competing with other, more pushy artists, including foreign ones. Furthermore, I'm sure there were other shows, unrelated to music, e.g. fashion shows, sporting events etc. What could Alizée offer to the potential spectators? Outfits that are not unusual to Paris, the fashion capital of the world? Dances that they have already seen on TV? Moreover, I consider DALS with its old-fashioned dances more harmful than useful to Alizée's image. The main thing that distinguishes musical tours from other shows is the music in itself, as corny as that sounds, and this is where the problem was. There were no singles like "Moi... Lolita" from the last album and those who had already bought the album and listened to it, I'm sure had said to their friends neither to do the same nor to attend any concerts related to the album.
Now imagine what it would be if Alizée was lucky enough to find more conscientious and talented composers than Pascal Obispo and Laurent Konrad. Even with that failed 'blonde' image, if she had sang something like the following songs:
she would not only had a successful album and the Blonde tour but also a triumphant return to the stage.
